*Accepting New Clients* My approach to therapy is built on authenticity and transparency. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe space for clients to recognize and develop their inherent strengths empowering them to heal and grow. I work from a strength-based perspective while motivating and exploring change through a solution focused lens. I work with individuals and youth and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure you feel I'm the right fit for you.

Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: Throughout my 30-year career, I have always been drawn to a quote from Drew Gerald – “Look outside and you will see yourself. Look inside and you will find yourself.” I have had the opportunity to work with individuals of all ages and from all walks of life and feel privileged to witness the incredible resiliency and determination of the human spirit.
I am committed to a strength-based perspective while motivating and exploring change through a solution focused lens. I am trained in a multitude of modalities, and work with clients on a variety of focuses, both of which are listed to the side of my profile.
I have also worked as a professor of Developmental Psychology for over a decade, developing community programs and facilitating psychoeducational and psychotherapy groups focused on substance misuse, anxiety, depression, self-worth, concurrent disorders, grief and bereavement, relationships, boundaries, trauma, PTSD, and spirituality.
At Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we strive to help clients live a life aligned with their values. Visit our website, call me, or email me to schedule a free consultation. I am here to support you on your journey.
